🌏 Must-visit attractions + tips to avoid pitfalls
✅Bali
1. Nusa Penida day trip (200 RMB for a private car): Angel’s Billabong + Kelingking Beach, the location of Apple wallpapers!
2. Cycling through Ubud rice fields (free): Navigate to Tegalalang Rice Terrace, rent a motorbike for 30 RMB per day
3.
Jimbaran seafood BBQ (80 RMB per person): Go at 5 PM, sunset + bargain for half price on seafood!
✅Yogyakarta
1. Borobudur sunrise (250 RMB for entry, enter at 4 AM, worth every penny!)
2. Merapi volcano jeep tour (150 RMB for 2 hours): The volcanic ash site is super impressive, wear a dust mask!
✅Lombok/ Komodo Island
1.
Pink beach + snorkeling day trip (300 RMB): The water is so clear you’ll doubt your eyes!
2. Komodo dragon tracking (400 RMB, need to fly to Labuan Bajo): Book in advance, safety first!
🍜 Food recommendations (20-50 RMB per person to be full!)
1. Bali: Babi Guling (roast suckling pig) and dirty duck (look for Bebek Tepi Sawah)
2. Yogyakarta: Gudeg (sweet and spicy coconut meat stew) + street-side coconut ice (5 RMB!)
3. Lombok: Grilled fish set (150,000 IDR ≈ 70 RMB, the sauce is amazing!)
⚠️ Tips to avoid
1. Devil’s Tears on Nusa Lembongan: Dangerous waves! Take photos from a distance, safety ropes are not necessary
2. Use Grab/Gojek for rides: Half the price of taxis, transparent pricing
3. Tipping is not mandatory: If the restaurant bill includes service charge, no need to tip; give 1-20,000 IDR to the driver
📝 Pre-trip checklist
1. Visa: On-arrival visa 35 USD/e-visa, print hotel and flight itinerary
2. Gear: Sunscreen + power adapter (European standard) + waterproof phone case
3. Cash: Best to withdraw cash from ATMs at Jakarta airport, have small bills for tips
